Interview | Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano talk ‘Untouchable’

Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano have been writing and directing films with each other since 1995. Their latest collaboration, French Oscar hopeful Untouchable (2011), has been a worldwide hit, breaking box office records and winning notable awards. The movie tells the story of the friendship between affluent paraplegic Philippe (François Cluzet) and his carer from the suburbs Driss (Omar Sy). Toledano and Nakache were in London to promote the film ahead of its UK release this week, and on behalf of CineVue I was on hand to quiz the directors on matters of disability, musical tastes and Hollywood remakes.
